Juliette Has A Gun Madeleine Impériale is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Madeleine Impériale opens with Madeleine and Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Saffron, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Honey. Juliette Has A Gun's Madeleine Impériale carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Madeleine Impériale is a truly divisive scent. Marketed as a gourmand, it's notorious for being a beastly, suffocating oud-bomb that's wildly different from what's advertised. Proceed with extreme caution - many find this utterly unwearable, smelling like burnt plastic, gasoline, or worse.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Given its overwhelming sillage and contentious scent profile, this is completely unsuitable for office and sport. Its aggressive, woody nature makes it a risky choice for dates and casual wear, though some might find its boldness appealing for formal evening events. However, most reviews suggest it's too potent and unpleasant for any social setting.

About

Don't let the name fool you - the promise of a delicate Madeleine note is fleeting, if present at all. Instead, prepare for an onslaught of dominant, industrial oud, often described as burnt rubber or gasoline, with hints of robust amber and leather. A splash of blood orange might cut through initially, but it quickly succumbs to the intense, almost metallic, woody core, leaving little room for the advertised vanilla or honey sweetness. This is a far cry from a typical cosy gourmand.
